Summary
The second edition of Analytical Fluid Dynamics presents an expanded and updated treatment of inviscid and laminar viscous compressible flows from a theoretical viewpoint. It emphasizes basic assumptions, the physical aspects of flow, and the appropriate formulations of the governing equations for subsequent analytical treatment. Topics covered include
Particularly noteworthy is a new, general treatment of forces and moments. The one-dimension flow chapter also discusses internal ballistics and the Riemann function method for solving hyperbolic equations. These two chapters, along with those dealing with thermodynamics, sweep, interference, imperfect gas glows, and several of the appendices are new to this edition.
Analytical Fluid Dynamics: Second Edition answers the continued need for fluid dynamic books that combine physical insight with careful development of the corresponding mathematics. With his focus on the development of analytical skills for dealing with inviscid and viscous flow, the author achieves this goal and provides a text valuable as a research reference or a graduate-level text.

Editorial Reviews
"The pluses for this book are the precise mathematics, the broad coverage, the increased emphasis on practicality, and the lucid, personable writing style…"The author is a distinguished teacher and scholar of fluid mechanics, particularly compressible flows…This reviewer recommends the present book Analytical Fluid Dynamics for a serious reference book on continuum, compressible, laminar flows…"
-Applied Mechanics Review, vol. 54, no. 4, July 2001
"…This book provides a unique source of topics for specialized graduate courses and an indispensable collection of background material for practitioners of modern fluid dynamics."
- AIAA Journal, August 2002
About the First Edition:
"…a rather distinctive work that deserves to take its place in the archival fluid-dynamics literature. It is evident that the author is well-informed on the latest developments and has a clear view of the relative significance of different aspects of the subject."
- Physics Today, November 1994
"...the author has chosen to emphasize selected topics in depth rather than attempt a less detailed coverage of the entire field. The result is a thorough exposition of many important achievements in analytical fluid mechanics in the recent decades, including the author's own contributions, with valuable references and comments on the underlying historical evolution of the discipline."
